Anyone heard about this?
Supposedly came into effect last year, and is nationwide.
The minimum band for losing points is 20%-50%. Below 20% you won't lose points, but you may still get a fine. <10% would be a safer threshold if you're trying to avoid a fine but this threshold is not written up in the rules so there is no guarantee (but generally it seems to hold).
